Deeper Life Has Never Changed Its Doctrines
Re: I WILL REMOVE SOME DEEPER LIFE DOCTRINES - KUMUYI
First, what is doctrine?
a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a Church, political party, or other group.
Based on this, a church's doctrine should be based on the Bible.
When Kumuyi said he will change somethings he set up, it was the practices that he established with the aim that it would help the members of the church to be more like God, it was not on the doctrines of the bible. He clearly mentioned marriage committee --not seen in the Bible- (in the youtube video). (Which was actually preached about 5 years ago)

These are administrations, and manner of worship peculiar to a denomination. It is seen in the New testaments, where the seven churches in Asia had different methods of worshiping. Also, a careful look at the epistles show that the churches Paul wrote to had different peculiar practices from each other. In fact, Paul tried to tell the church in Corinth to change some of them. (1 Corinthians 11:16,18,19; 14:1; 16:1) Also, organized religion with reference to administration, organization of outreaches etc were not explicitly stated in the Bible.
It's just like saying that every pastor must have 12 apostles since Jesus had only 12 or that it is wrong to clap since there was no record of clapping hands by the apostles in the New Testament. They are not doctrines just practices peculiar to one denomination or the other that might be changed by the respective denominations depending on whether it is drawing them to God or away from him.
Men like John Calvin and John Wesley set up structures in their respective denominations as directed by God and it did not go contrary to the gospel of Christ. Calvinism and Methodist respectively. You can search out their practices, methods and administrations online. Led by the Spirit, but not lifted verbatim from the scriptures.
Finally, deeper life doctrines include: The Holy Bible (2 Timothy 2:16,17); The Godhead (Mathew 28:19,20); The Virgin Birth of Christ (Isaiah 7:14); Repentance (Hebrews 6:1-3); Restitution (James 4:17); Water Baptism (Mark 16:15,16); The Rapture ( 1 Corinthians 15:51-58) to mention but a few.
These are the things they believe in and also teach their members. They have never changed it and by God's grace never will.
